<p><strong>David Attenborough: A life on Our Planet (Netflix) </strong></p>.<p><strong>Rating: 4/5</strong></p>.<p>Our tiny blue home, bubbling with life and skyrocketing through the vast cosmos, has trouble brewing at home.</p>.<p>Humanity is headed for an uncertain future. What happened and what can we do next?</p>.<p>Sir David Attenborough's biographical documentary tries to answers these questions.</p>.<p>Attenborough takes us through his extraordinary, one-of-its-kind career documenting the natural world, and as he does, he charts the interminable destruction of the wild and how the Holocene balance was disturbed in the last 90 years.</p>.<p>He tells what our careless living could cost us, and what our only hope is: sustainable living.</p>.<p>We see Attenborough as a sweet, young thing. This is both a homely and alienation experience. On the one hand, he is one of the wise sages of our times. On the other, a young Attenborough is so far before our times, there is something unreal about it.</p>.<p>We see footage of forests being destroyed. In one heartbreaking scene, a lone surviving climbs atop a lonely tree. In another, a polar bear swims the ocean with no slab of ice to climb aboard.</p>.<p>Your misanthropy when you see that human population growth is inversely proportional to the amount of forest cover.</p>.<p>The story makes a heartening full circle when we see that the wild is reclaiming Chernobyl. The reminder here is that nature has to make do with our scraps --scraps we had no business creating in the first place.</p>.<p>The shots are exquisite and the camera work lives up to the persona of Attenborough.</p>.<p>With all its warning hazards, 'A life on our planet' is a celebration of the natural world.</p>
